Volume 1, Chapter 68: A Honey-Sweet Tongue

Zhao Yan looked forward to an even more thrilling match, just as Omaco anticipated an opponent stronger than himself.

Stepping into the void, he rushed out of the raging ripples of energy, and nine hundred-foot blade radiances slashed down toward him in an instant.

Chen Fan’s expression remained unchanged as he unleashed a bolt of Heavenly Gang Thunder. The lightning exploded like threads, enveloping the black-armored warrior entirely.

"Is that so? Then let me put it bluntly: I have a grudge against you, a very deep grudge. Do you understand?" Feng Chen said coldly.

A huge breach appeared in the wall of the house. The old man was the first to fly backward out of the building, his footsteps landing on the stone platform of the water pavilion before heading toward the lotus stone bridge. Chen Fan followed closely behind, murderous intent rolling off him in waves, making it impossible to tell who had the upper hand for a moment.

Chen Baxian and Chen Qian were well aware that the naval force was Wang Ze's foundation for establishing himself in the East China Sea. Moreover, although the Chen army's navy was inferior to Wang Ze's, it was still far stronger than the naval forces of the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties in the north. Therefore, after Wang Ze refused, the two men did not bring the matter up again.

Hearing Nalan Xue still address her as sister-in-law, Sima Xi’s body stiffened slightly. Then, she raised her head in disbelief and looked toward the retreating figure.

"Mm." Zhao Yan nodded as he gazed at the box containing the slip of paper. He already understood that from this moment on, they were entering the dueling phase.

The street was bustling with people and rather crowded. Many cast burning gazes at Hu Tianmei, and seeing Zi Lingtian walking side by side with her, numerous individuals wished they could step forward and take his place.

"Heh! Li Haorong, do you still remember me?" Zi Lingtian walked up to Li Haorong with a smile and said.

For instance, a gigantic six-legged creature capable of spitting corrosive spore clusters at fifteen times the speed of sound—it was dubbed the "Baozi Tank."

Having dispatched a few clueless berserk orcs, the beast-dragon became even more eager to know what kind of terrifying entity had committed such a frantic act, and with what purpose in mind.

"Because you aren't yet worth my effort. You can't win, and I know life at the docks is hard for you guys. So if you want to develop your career in the city, come join me!" Hao Tianming said.

The sea of blood surged to the heavens. Countless blood spiders transformed into a boundless ocean of blood under the manipulation of the Blood God Calamity Spider, turning once more into a terrifying giant beast. The mountain-high blood spider crashed against the Four Symbols Barrier, producing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound.

"We didn't make a move; everyone can vouch for us," Zheng Xin'er pouted, wearing an indignant expression.

That heavenly silkworm was an peerless divine fetus nurtured by the primordial divine stones of heaven and earth. It was born at the realm of a Great Saint, but such a high starting point was not necessarily a good thing.

"This Hua Yuan has such a sweet tongue; Lady Song is likely to be completely captivated by him." Liyuan sat in the distance, channeling his inner energy and concentrating to listen.

Su Rumeng and Hu Ling formed a team, sharpening their skills in the Glacial Ancient Path of the General's Tomb. That location was extremely remote, and magical teleportation scrolls could not be used there. The monsters did not yield much loot, so under normal circumstances, few high-level adventurers or guilds went there. Thus, it was an excellent place for lone wanderers to hone their combat skills.

As various imperial clans made their appearances, the members of the Nan family, who had originally intended to seal off the area, could not help but smile bitterly, knowing they had lost their chance.

The Great Shark grew furious. "Get lost! Don't let me lay eyes on you!" Then, swinging his fist once again, he smashed it toward Murong Chuhai.

"I was just wondering, what are you like when you're acting all lesbian?" Ding Li blurted out, instantly regretting it so much he wanted to slap himself. Wasn't this practically courting death?

While Lan Haitang was making the phone call, Leng Yi was already driving the car with Mu Ningyou toward the Mu family's ancestral residence.

Wang Kai easily picked up that bead and began twirling it back and forth in his palm.

PS: A heartfelt thank you to the senior half-cold, half-cool, half-mature for your long-term support, and thank you for the generous tip. I am shamelessly asking for recommendation votes and tips once again.

Even the elders following behind Fourth Master Liu had shifting loyalties at this moment.

Fang Qing left. Behind him, a black cloak that had appeared from nowhere fluttered in the wind. Zhou Rui discovered that, at this moment, he had actually been defeated by the Sword God's aura. This was the first time he had failed to fulfill his duty, but he swore it would also be the last. Even he could not shake the Sword God's resolve.

On the ancient moon, due to the lack of an atmosphere to retain heat and insulate, the temperature in areas struck directly by sunlight could reach 127 degrees Celsius, while the dark side lacking sunlight could plummet to a minimum of minus 183 degrees. Such a massive temperature differential of four hundred degrees made human survival completely impossible.

Next came a full-throttle barrage of continuous laser fire. Streak after streak of red laser beams struck the energy barrier, producing pale blue energy ripples that spread out like raindrops on a pond's surface, shimmering with dazzling wave patterns.

In the northern capital of Taiyuan, Ding Li had been quite leisurely lately. He chose an auspicious day to welcome Huiying into his household. Because any children Huiying would bear in the future were to be adopted into the Li family lineage, Huiying was considered a legitimate wife. Amidst gongs and drums, she entered the residence specially prepared for her by Ding Li, looking far more glorious than Huimei's status as a concubine.

From this day onward, Liu Yingchun’s life became comfortable. Not only did no one come to bother her anymore, but she also had ample food, water, and nutritional supplements. Occasionally, Madam Liu would come to visit her, talk to her about raising children, and bring some fabric for her to make clothes for the baby.

Heishi Yu looked at her coldly. This time, he did not stop her; instead, he simply watched coldly as she drew closer.

A few days later, Yun Sheng went to the Long'en Hall of the Mu Mausoleum to pay respects to the late emperor, and unexpectedly encountered Yehe Nara Qinglan once again.

She shook her head and sighed. In the end, Yuan Yuan and Yun Lei were simply not the destined pair for each other. Sometimes, many lives were filled with numerous regrets—until that one person came along who could make you give up everything.

Seeing Pei Anzhi lower his gaze to look at her, remaining silent for a long time without even knowing where his thoughts had drifted, subtle expressions shifting across his handsome face while his brows furrowed slightly.

Four-ingredient decoction for a month? Was this supposed to be rhythm of drinking until she vomited? It was easy for him to suggest it since he wasn't the one drinking it!

He did not stop, choosing instead to take the fire escape. In the time it took to climb over a dozen flights of stairs—a mere five minutes—he had persuaded her.

During dinner, Huang Qingqing glanced at Andy Lau from time to time. Even though Andy Lau had a very thick skin, being scrutinized intermittently by Huang Qingqing still made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
